Need Good Mechanic In West/cbd Melb

[Japav]

Hi all,

any recommendation for getting car service/scan in west or close to city of Melbourne?

My 350GT8 doesnt like the hot weather most of the time,

something feels like overheated in the middle of drive, the transmission doesnt shift up and act funny like rev up as much as I smash the paddle then release it quickly even my foot never move. (at this point all panel lights are normal)

so i pull over and turn off engine and restart, the CVT light flashe, but when i try with the engine self diagnose, all i got is 10s of long/short flashes (means 0000)

i had to pull aside on the road, turn off engine and cool it down a bit before it become drivable again.

so far this only happens to hot day (over 35 degrees), i've checked other posts and someone had similar issue with speed sensor.

I want get a proper scan before look into possibility of CVT failure...because its gonna cost me too much to get it done for sure,

Cheers,

The self diagnose is for the ECU, not TCU.

Best to go straight to Nissan and get them to pull the codes from the TCU.

does it matter if i can take it for scan straight away as I been overseas for 2 weeks and left battery out during this time,

not sure if that will reset the ECU/TCU codes and i havnt drive the car yet.

or does make it any different if i bring the car for scan on the HOT day too?

Leaving the battery disconected wont do anything (will not reset ECU or clear codes).

You want to try and get them to scan when you are suffering the symptoms. If the car is really only affected when its hot, it may be that there is a dodgy switch/sensor that only breaks down when really hot. So in short if you have problems when its hot, test when its hot.
